well.. i've been looking forward to this training... i really want to return to the sprinters team.. its been one month since i last went for sunday training.. really don wish to skip any more training.. since i join this CCA, i shall to take pride in it.. now tt there is no more NCC events, its time to concentrate on my poly cca and my studies..
went for training ya.. i was alone as i reach SDBA(Singapore Dragon Boat Association) quite early.. so i sat down and took a short nap. it was 0810hrs at tt time. then i hear foot step walking towards my direction.. when i open my eyes, i saw a pair of legs in front of me. when i look up, it was my captain.. the first thing he ask was," y are u slpin down here". lolx...
around 0845hrs,everyone is here and all of us change into our running attire and go for a run.. run and run and run and finally we are back. witout any delay, we load our canoe onto the rack and push out to the shore for launching. since it was one month since i last canoe, i haf problem balancing it. everythoing ws fine till i canoe till shears bridge. trying the turn the canoe towards the right, so i tried to edge the canoe.. but i fail.. i capsize and drank the kallang salt water.. quite tasty.. lolx... got rescue by polo girls ya.. thanx for their help.. i back into my T1...
the warming up session is to paddle to shears bridge and then to the suspension bridge. after the polo girls rescue me, i paddle to the suspension bridge. on my way there, i had problems controlling the direction of the canoe.. it juz keep going left despite how hard i try to counter it. got to do stern rather in order to change the direction. reach the suspension bridge, go in and out one time.. then wait for coach to come. coach revise different strokes wit us.. actually is revise with all sprinter but since i miss out so many training, things tt coach teach, seems new to me.. so peeps out there, if u join one things, go for all the training or u will miss out alot.
went to apply strokes that coach revised with everyone, its realli very effective.. beginning to feel the glide of the canoe.. then try to go straight.. feeling quite gd ya.. after all those coaching, the training is sort of "over".. everyone to form teams of three.. gonna haf a competition between each other.. juz a 20m race i think.. see whu can move straight and the fastest.. its mi turn.. chiong and chiong and chiong.. till haf way, i lose mi balance.. i shout as i cap.. from low pitch to high pitch.. lolx.. everyone laugh coz its like damn funny la.. lolx... i was rescued by coach.. can see the unhappiness expression on his face ya..
after a few rounds, the sea training ended... went back to the shore, pitch up our canoe and push back to SDBA. on our way back.. something bad happen.. no 1 had ever told me that we cant go in and cut across the ropes tt were being tied to the yellow beacon. The beacon basically seperates the place where police coast guard park their boats. i just cut across the yellow beacon and coach caught me.. he immediately chouted ,"you owe me 50 CHIN UPS".. woah.. power sia.. then i say ok and quietly paddle back to the shore.. was hoping that he will forget wat he say.
after washing all the canoe and put back to the racks, we got to do a closing set. we do push up in a different manner and also do leg exercise. scissors kick i think.. got to keep our leg straighten as we move up and down. got to coordinate together as we do.. kinda fun ya.. hahaz.. after tt, we do 20 star jump.. tt want even better.. jump till leg soft.. lolx.. then the last thing is do 6 sets of 8 chin up.. which adds up to a total of 48 chin up.. i merely did 8, 4 with assist and i'm shagged.. then coach gave us a debrief and say that everything we do, is juz the beginning... more hell to come.. *woohoooo* the debrief is over and i was preparing to bath..
JUZ THEN... coach say.. "whu owe me 50 chin up"? i raised up my hand and carry on 50.. thanx to both of my sprinter mates, whu are very willing to assist me. they keep encouraging me. after i does 10 chin up, i split the remaining 40 chin ups in to 10 sets of 4. each set, my mate assisted me.. left the last 3 sets, skin from both my left palm and right palm peel off.. i ask the coach if i can continue nxt week and he say no.. therefore, i got to endure the pain and finish off my last 12 chin ups.. pull and pull and finally, its over.. thanx to my two mates.. ic ompleted it.. after tt, we went to bath and went home..
after today, i've learn my lesson. not allowed to cross the beacon as we might get knock down in the lifeguard parking premises and the in charge who is the coach, got to go behind bars.. so canoeing peeps out there, beta watch your direction ya.. anyway, special thanx to dennis and jiame for your help.. =D

aw.. ICEP is really damn fun lo.. really miss those foreign cadets very much.. Booked in to HQ NCC on the wednesday night and stay through out till sunday. on the wednesday nite, was a CAmp pinnacle nite. Its was very interesting as different country will go up and present their own country thing. Be it culture or lame jokes or funny things, all of them are so interesting.
The australian cadets presented some of their cultural thing if i'm not wrong. kinda interesting ya.. then follow by the america cadets. the american do some marching actions with the US army song. the US army song was a very nice song. i like it very much. the US cadets certainly did a gd job. after the US cadets is the hong kong cadets. they presented a skit about chinese new year. its not that funny or interesting but its the effort that counts ya. so i still appreciate wat they ded. following up is the Uk cadets. they presented a song to everyone. however, this songs requires volunteer to do action. CLTs and cadets are being called up. i'm one of them of coz.. we were being instructed by SAM to do those different actions. its was quite fun though was a bit embarassing ya.. hahaz... lastly were the india cadets.. their presentation was one of the best. one female cadet went out with their traditional dress and a pot of fire on her head, dancing around.. it was very interesting and everyone applauded loudly. after the dance, they presented their cultural dance. quite interesting ya.
after the camp pin nite, everyone haf their supper and head back to their bunk. every morning, when the cadets went to visit different parts of singapore or some events, i got to go school. so miss out quite some time with them. thursday night was 48th intake CLT passing out ceremony. foreign cadets are cordially invited to witness the ceremony. they gave 10/10 for the CLT passing out ceremony. after the ceremony, everyone head back to their bunk as they were tired.
Friday nite was a farewell dinner for all the foreign cadets as they will be leaving on either saturday or sunday. the dinner was a nice one. i was like a pig, eat and eat and eat.. but i haven finish njoying certain fd, the waiter/waitress take away the food liao.. cock sia.. anyway, i'm fat, beta don eat much.. hahaz.. once again, individual country went up to the small stage to give a talk.. first is australia. every sing the australia song with great joy.. (I still call Australia.. I still call Australia.. I still call Australia.. HOME.........) was a very nice song too.. following up is the us cadet. they onli gave a speech . same for UK too.. then its hong kong turn. they did some lame shit. at first, ppl don catch wat they are doing.. but after tt, ppl begin to catch wat they are doing.. some lame kung fu stuff.. then is the INDIA CADETS turn.. they took 20 minutes on the presentation. they say out all their country different aspect. religion,tourism,army,economy,ncc,places of interest and MORE!!! wooooow... so damn powerful!!!!
Then.. its saturday.. the first country to depart is Hong KOng.. we send them to the airport. we took photos and bid farewell to each other.. then the nxt country to be send off will be at nite. the UK and US cadet will be catching their nite plane.. mean time, they went to shop. time flies ya, its almost time to go to the airport. for this few days, SAM from UK, was the closest to us. on out way to airport, we sang lots of songs together in the bus. everyone was feeling very sad as we are going to dart from each other in no time. however, we control our emotion and carry to sing as we go. the atmosphere in the bus was saturated with joy and laughter.
We reach the airport in no time and we unloaded the luggage for them. as i push the trolley in, i was feeling down. kept trying to control mi precious tears from rolling down my cheeks. i think of the things that i hate most in order to counter my emotions. every thing was fine. when SAM hugged me, i cant take it anymore and broke down.. OMG.. tt was so pai sae lo.. but i donno y, i juz wanna cry when i say bb to him... i was like a leader over there.. leader as in lead everyone to cry.. LOL.. after i cry, all begin to shed tears too. my influence tt big??? lolx.. everyone's eyes was red and swollen.. feeling very very sad at tt point of time. as we see them in to the check in counter, tears begin to roll down again.. haiz.. so sad.. but nvm, still in contact after all.. minutes after sam went in, the us cadets went in to.. then we left the airport...
then nxt day, sunday, australia and india will be leaving. we went to sent the australia to the airport... india cadets was so bad, rather stay in bus then to send the australia cadets off. we took group foto and send went to a cafeteria to haf coffee with them b4 they check in. moments lata, its time for them to check in and we bid farewell to them.. no one shed tears except for a friend of mine, kevin. hahaz...
after sending the australian cadets off, we went back to the coach. we send the india cadets to haf their breakfast at the macdonalds. they took their own sweet time to eat but its ok la... as usual, take a group foto b4 they bought up the bus... we send them straight to the airport and see them off.. we take foto with them again and see them in to the check in counter.. after they gone in, everyone was so...

as for the cadets from european country.. they are like so daring... went to orchard for a shop.. i and wei zheng are in charge of them at tt day.. they walked into takashimaya and went passed a shop tt sell massaging device like massaging chair and etc.. on seeing it, the female america cadet, josie, went in and sat down on the chair.. the nxt thing she do, is ask the shop assistant to help her set the mode.. *penGz*.. i and wei zheng got to sit there and wait for them.. so pai seh lo.. nv buy still go in and sit.. its not one person but 3 person.. one after another.. sit till so shiok.. then still pull u and wei zheng in.. they keep insisting tt we muz try.. *diaoz*.. after sitting, i went to apologize to the shop assistant.. wtH sia... but its ok la, they are all nice ppl after all.. =)
after the massaging chair, we went out and walk to heerens.. inside the heerens, one male cadet from UK,whose name is sam, went to disturb josie.. she pinched his nipples and he shouted OUCH!!! so loudly tt ppl coming down from the escalator, keep staring at us.. very wat sia.. anyway, sam was a joker.. he kind of entertain us and also teach us the "y don u fuck off" hand sign and many more.. first time seeing and knowing this kind of hand sign, find it rather interesting and funny.. hahaz...
